Definitions
- This invention refers to a Champagne bottle opener although it could be used for bottles containing other carbonated liquids that are closed with a cork, which has one of its ends protruding from the edge of the bottle rim.
- the purpose of this invention is to achieve an opener that is easy to use, of fast operation and efficient in achieving its function, while also providing a means that prevents the cork from getting launched into the air after opening as a consequence of the force exerted by the carbonated liquid inside the bottle.
- Champagne bottles are closed using a cork that has one end wider than the other, with the wider end projecting over the edge of the bottle neck; the cork is fastened to the bottle by means of a wire shaped as a cap, which covers the external portion of the cork and is girdled around the ring shaped rim limiting the bottle neck.
- Opening of the Champagne bottle is carried out manually by pressing and pulling the cork upward or twisting with fingers around the cork in order to extract it gradually.
- the opener that is recommended has been designed to solve the problem described in the paragraph above in a simple but very efficient way, since this opener incorporates the means for retaining the bottle cork once it's opened.
- the opener of this invention is comprised of an elongated body that serves as a crow bar, which near its free end incorporates an appendage shaped as a horn, which is projected backwards on its lower side; this device can be hooked to the loop at the end of the wire mesh attached to the exterior part of the cork; the free end of this device also incorporates a head piece with two arms shaped like a fork; the bottle cork is placed between these arms with the particularity that this head on the transversal side of the fork has a sharp device; preferably two spikes that puncture the cork; all of this so that operation of the opener causes the cork to be extracted from the bottle neck and more importantly, it holds the cork so that it does not shoot out by hooking the opener's hook or appendage to the wire mesh of the cork.
- This opener may be made of metal (iron, steel, aluminium, etc.), polyamide, or any other appropriate material.
- FIG. 1 Shows a representation according to a general perspective of the opener of this invention.
- FIG. 2 Shows a different perspective; in this case of the opener's inner face that shows the horn shaped element or appendage and the head shaped like a fork in a semi-folded position with respect to the main body that is used as a crowbar.
- FIG. 3 Shows a lateral view of the assembly represented in the prior figure with the fork shaped head folded over the main body that is used as a crowbar.
- FIG. 4 Shows a lateral view of the opener's operation as used on a Champagne bottle cork, showing the cork wire end ring hooked to the appendage or hook included with the opener.
- FIG. 5 Shows a lateral view just like the figure prior, with the opener in its final position as used for opening the bottle; in other words, extracting the Champagne bottle cork.
- the opener of this invention is comprised of a main body ( 1 ), which is elongated, rectangular and slightly bent, with a general easy to grip shape so it can be perfectly held by the user.
- This body ( 1 ) includes a hook shaped appendage ( 2 ) on its inner side, while its free end is moveable by means of a transversal hinge ( 3 ), a head ( 4 ) shaped like a fork with two lateral arms ( 5 ) and a sharp element, which is specially comprised of two spikes ( 6 ) that emerge from the arms or lateral branches ( 5 ), which project from the transversal or rear fork branch that forms the head ( 4 ) as can be clearly seen in FIG. 1 .
- this opener can be made of polyamide, steel, aluminium or any other appropriate material and its application and functionality is as follows.
- the lower part of the exposed part of the cork ( 8 ) is placed between the fork branches ( 5 ) that make up the head ( 4 ) that moves about the opener's main arm ( 1 ) until the spikes ( 6 ) or sharp element incorporated on that fork or head ( 4 ) puncture the cork ( 8 ) to subsequently carry out the twisting side to side of the cork ( 8 ) to extract the cork from the bottle neck; due to this extraction, the cork ( 8 ) will tend to be launched but this will not occur because the cork ( 8 ) will be retained by the wire that is hooked to the opener's appendage or horn ( 2 ), specifically from the openers ( 1 ) main arm.
- this is an opener that enables to carry out the opening of bottles in a fast and easy way, while preventing the cork from being launched into the air.
